Several people, especially men, have said things like, I don't mislead women, I don't lie to women, etc. Every time, I explain that men are not trying to mislead women when they use MANglish. In general, men are trying get their point across. And many times they think they're being very clear. In fact, when I have asked men, "Do you say things to your wife or girlfriend that confuse her?" they always reply, "No." But if I ask if they've been asked for clarification on something the answer is always, "Yes."
Most of the time, men are not intentionally trying to confuse women. Men and women communicate differently. A lot of men I know seem to go out if their way to be sensitive and avoid hurting a woman's feelings.
